Freshwater mussels reproduce through a process called external fertilization. During breeding season, males release sperm into the water, which females then siphon in along with water. The fertilized eggs develop into larvae called glochidia, which the female broods in specialized structures until they are ready to be released. These glochidia must attach to a host fish to continue their development into juvenile mussels.
